Ugh. Lee.

Maybe our defense will stiffen and we will get some rebounds.

You mean there's still nope?

Just wait for next year!

Even the rim gets our rebounds.

Getting into the tournament is absolutely the right thing to do. Always! Just do it.

Are there any recruits in the hall today that can play for IU in the second half?

Is it the half yet? I just fell off of the wagon.

Someone steal a signal. Take the air out of the ball. Something. Anything.

Crap. I hate peanutbutter and chocolate.

On a roll!

Limburger?

You mean basketball?

Well, he is consistent.

Is IU being outrebounded already?

Is the crowd fired up in Assembly Hall? Is Wilkerson hitting his practice 3s? Is Coach DD gnashing his teeth, yet? Have the zebras been paid off recently? Is Izzo still alive? I have a positive feeling about this game. But at my age, any feeling is positive.

Purdue losing at Ohio State with 3 minutes left...58 - 69.

I cannot let my previous prediction be my vote. The Spartans get outrebounded and can't hit 3's on the road 71 Candy stripes and Zebra stripes and the crowd, all game long 75 Izzo gets a technical. DD does not. I get buzzed (I mean happy).

Losing has caused a loss of...well... Just win, baby!

Miami of Ohio wins. 69 - 67 still undefeated 29 - 0.

Redhawks ahead by 2 with 4 secs.

Miami of Ohio...tied score with 12 seconds in regulation.

5:22 remaining...Redhawks behind by 5.

Them 71 Us 104 IU sandbags MSU with our secret weapon! Don't ask me what the secret weapon is. Because I don't know. IU has been keeping it secret.

Agreed. I do get excited for the challenging and meaningful games. I don't get quite as stressed as my wife. She is normally a very controlled and caring individual. Wow! Envision banshee screeches. I still yearn to have IU in the NCAAT every year. And I don't want IU to just barely qualify resulting is a bottom seed. This bubble crap really ticks me off. All of us IU fans could see this coming. Rolling the dice on transfers for a completely new starting or rotational players is not ideal. Hence the flawed roster. Lack of starting the offense, lack of go-to-players, slow feet...ugh. To top it off is a new coach. New to the B1G. New program. But lots of NIL. And hired without any significant lead time to fill the roster and staff. Why our coach stuck with certain players in many games without finding someone who would provide something different, I wonder... So, imho, my vote on the coach is held in abeyance...certainly until the season is over. And probably he should be given another year before we really can evaluate his mettle. No doubt if he continues to be middle-of-the-pack as a coach...year after year...I may have to perform a stupid and futile gesture.
